Instructions
Pound out the chicken so they are thinner and even in thickness. Cut the larger pieces of chicken into smaller pieces as needed.
In a food processor or blender, add all of the ingredients except the chicken. Blend until smooth.
Place the chicken in a zip top bag. Pour the blended marinade/sauce on top of the chicken and seal the bag. Squish and shake the chicken so the marinade/sauce covers all pieces. Let the chicken marinate in the fridge for at least 3 hours.*You can place the chicken covered in the marinade/sauce in a dish and cover it tightly to marinate if you don’t have a zip top bag.
After the chicken has marinated, heat your grill on medium heat. Place the chicken on the grill (discard the extra sauce left behind). Grill the chicken for about 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165℉. Flip the chicken half way through cooking.*See blog post above for different cooking options.
After the chicken has cooked, slice it or chop it into the desired sized pieces. Use this chicken in burritos or tacos- see blog post above for how I make mine!Also use it for loaded nachos, quesadillas, burrito bowls, salads, enchiladas and more!
Store any leftover chicken in the fridge for up to 3 days.
